Scientific studies have proven the strong correlation between a leader’s ability to give & receive feedback and employee engagement ánd leadership effectiveness.

Feedback should be a good thing. Feedback allows you to build a better you. Opening ourselves up to understanding how others experience us is opening up to a life of learning and growth.
